Robin said nothing.
As the two men in the dining room ate, they lost all sense of time. In the end, Robin gave up waitingand took her leave from Sophia, saying that she would like to go home first. Thus, Sophia saw her tothe entrance of the community and watched as she got into a taxi and left. Standing at the gate, shelooked around before pivoting and going back in.
On the street a near distance away was a parked car. Someone was sitting inside with a camera inhand, snapping away in Sophia’s direction. Only when she’d disappeared from sight did the person putthe camera down and wound up the car window. Subsequently, he checked the photos taken.Seemingly very much satisfied, he then put everything away and started the car before driving off.
Having absolutely no idea about that, Sophia languidly went back into the house. John and Logan werestill drinking as the two of them started discussing the Bailey Family. As Logan disliked Isabelle, hespoke ill of her every so often, criticizing her incessantly. Leaning against the entrance to the diningroom, Sophia listened for a while before she found it futile. Actually, each person has his or her ownopinion as to whether Isabelle is a nice person. Forcing one’s view onto another person will onlybackfire. She then turned around and went upstairs.
My mind is only feeling much clearer now. For the entire day today, I’d been feeling really drowsy. Shethen did a search online, only to find out that it was an early pregnancy symptom. She touched herstomach, not quite certain how she felt about this little one in her belly. This child came at an untimelytime, but she wasn’t all that averse to it. Anyhow, abortion had never crossed her mind. While shewasn’t a kind person, she just couldn’t bring herself to do so. To her, it was extremely cruel if she wereto forcibly strip away the life within her.
She then drank the blood nourishing liquid tonic John bought before climbing into bed and lying down.At this time, her cell phone on the bedside table rang again. She could guess who it was since no one
else would be calling at this hour. Lifting a hand, she groped for the phone. Subsequently, she cast aglance at it and answered the call. “Well, what is it?”
The woman’s voice was tinged with a hint of ingratiation, and she didn’t speak of anything serious,merely asking Sophia whether she’d had dinner. Sophia said nothing, keeping mum. The woman thengave a light cough, perchance finding things too awkward. Then, she said, “The picture I sent you theother day was of your sister. Your sister—”
“I have no sister,” Sophia asserted. All at once, the other end went silent. “My parents are bothdeceased. Since young, I only had a grandfather, and he passed away a little over a year ago. I’m nowall alone without any relatives, not even one.” Her voice was very placid yet not exactly indifferent,merely the kind of attitude one would employ with a stranger.
A sigh came from the other end, and the woman’s voice started cracking. “I knew it! I knew that you’dresent us. But Soph, we had our own difficulties. Back then, your father wanted to start a business, butas you know, that poverty-stricken place was no place for a business. Later on, we owed people toomuch money, and they came to demand repayment every single day. Our life was dismal, so yourfather and I had no choice but to leave and make a living elsewhere. We wanted to make some moneyand return for a good life.”
Sophia dissolved into laughter. “Well, the two of you have left for more than 20 years, no? Where’s themoney? Were you two dazzled after going out there and seeing the myriad temptations of the world?You then felt that it’s better out there, and there’s nothing to miss at the small mountain village backhome. Am I right?”
